Rejoinder
Law Minister Shafique Ahmed has refuted part of the UNB report on his statement at the workshop on Implementation of CEDAW for reducing violence against women (ICRVAW) project, which was carried by certain dailies on February 23.
Clarifying his extempore statement, the minister said his actual statement was “the Muslim Family Ordinance, 1961 was passed on the recommendations of a commission set up for the purpose showing the juristic basis as the holy Quran. Experts can examine the laws which are discriminatory without hurting religious feelings of any community.”
